The cost of following Jesus is high. Do you have enough in you to do it right?
This stings:
An old friend of mine posted something critical of Christians on Facebook the other day.
We can read the “count the cost” passages (Luke 14:25-33) over and over, but it still hurts when something like that happens. Is that what he has really thought of me all this time?
The post was a political one that set up a straw man attack on Christians. Even though it was not a personal attack, an attack on the group I am most proud to be associated with still feels personal.
This is the kind of thing we’ll continue to have to deal with. All we can really do about is “shake the dust off our feet” and move one. Sure, we will lose the occasional “friend” over it, but it is all part of the transition from counting the cost to paying the price.
Paying the full price is what Christ requires. (Luke 14:33)
